Relentless (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Mm.

Hey, Teddy.

Um, I know it's been a while,

but I, uh, just wanted

to check in with you

and see how you're doing.

I know this isn't getting

any easier.

It's starting to feel like

we're in the deep end

trying to find each other,

and we're just drowning.

Every day

we're deeper and deeper.

And I just miss you.

I miss you so much.

And I wish you were right here

sitting right next to me.

Right next to me.

Right next to me.

Y-Yes, I understand.

We're working on it, yes.

I know a data breach

is the last thing

we need right now.

No, I understand.

Yes, sir.

It's very clear, yes.

I'm checking it right now.

Take a deep breath in

through your nose

and out through your mouth

at your own pace.

Take another one

just like that.

In through the nose.

Fill up your belly.

And out through your mouth.

Let it all out.

Inhale...

...and exhale.

Let it all out.

Out.

Continue breathing

through your nose.

And with each exhale...

...relax your body.

I wish you were right

here sitting right next to me.

Can I help you?

Oh, you are here.

Uh, uh, what's this about?

Oh, well,

we're just, uh, here

in the neighborhood,

trying to save homeowners

some money on their power bill.

Oh, right.

Um, okay.

We've been

to every house on the block,

and, uh...

looks like you... are up next.

Well, sir...

we'd love to come on in there

and explain

all these crazy charges

you've been seeing on your--

I-I'm okay actually.

You sure?

Yeah. No, thank you.

Oh, you don't want

to save any money?

We can just do it real quick.

I'll come in there and we can--

we can go over--

I-I'm not the homeowner.

I'm sorry.

Well, any idea

when they'll be back?

I don't know.

Okay.

No worries at all.

I-I guess we will come

back another time.

I miss you.

I just miss you...

Right next to me.

Right next to me.

I miss you so much.

No. No, no, no!

Stop! Stop!

Why are you doing this?

Please!

m*therf*cker!

Oh, f*ck!

f*ck'...

f*ck!

g*dd*mn it!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No!

sh*t.

Regular.

f*ck!

Okay.

Now...

All right. Uh...

Uh...

Uh... uh...

Oh!

Oh! Okay.

sh*t.

f*ck' nose.

sh*t.

This one's really tricky.

He broke my f*ck' nose.

Gotta go.

Gotta go, baby.

f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

f*ck!

No! No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no!

Welcome to Rogger's Car Wash.

Please select your wash

and enter form of payment.

Your code is invalid.

Please try again.

Welcome to Rogger's Car Wash...

She keeps saying that.

Happens every time.

Look, I-I keep putting

the money and I don't--

Is there like a button that I

have to press or something?

'Cause I've been here for...

like, four minutes.

All right, there she goes.

Thought I'd be here all night.

What are you doing?

Get the f*ck off my car!

Oh, my God!

Stop!

Get the f*ck off!

Hey!

What the f*ck

do you want from me?

I just want my sh*t back.

What the f*ck do you want?

Please.

Come on!

I don't even know you.

Oh, yeah, you do.

What?

Look at me.

You know me.

You know me.

You know me!

Look at me!

Please.

f*ck you up. Let's go!

Come on!

Hello.

Hello.

I can't do this anymore.

Please.

I don't know

what you want from me.

Please.

Oh, you know what I want.

What the f*ck

are you talking about?

Okay.

Okay.

No, wait!

Please. Tell me what's going on.

That's why you're here, not me.

Wait! Please.

I-I don't know.

Now just cut the sh*t, man.

-What is this?

-That's enough.

Now, look...

uh, I got

all the time in the world.

All right? But, but you, well...

Eventually, you're gonna

need some water.

Don't do this.

Please.

Wait. Wait!

Please!

Please, man.

What do you want from me?

Hmm.

Oh. How rude of me.

Hmm.

I seem to have forgotten

to give you the tour.

It's not quite

as pretty as yours,

but it's a nice little getaway

when it's too cold

to sleep in the car.

I'm sorry. Okay?

And...

what in the world

are you sorry for?

Whatever I did.

Just hungry.

And I need some water.

You're hungry?

Don't starve me out. Please.

Right.

You will starve.

Just like I did.

What's on the laptop?

Nothing.

It's for work.

There's nothing on it.

Please.

Okay.

I need some water.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Well,

maybe you could just...

slide me your log in.

You know, maybe I could,

I could share

my Netflix account with you.

That'd be fun, wouldn't it?

Do you know how long

it took me to find you?

You know, in Guantanamo Bay

it wasn't

the constant threat of death,

lack of food, starvation

that finally got

the prisoners to talk.

No.

It was the...

embarrassment of those

disgusting photos

the guards took.

Complete systematic

destruction of character.

That's what finally

got 'em to crack.

Yeah.

Now, are you sure

you wanna go down that route?

Now all you gotta do is

give me some answers, you know?

It's that simple.

Okay.

However you wanna play it.

Okay? It's up to you.

I'll be on standby.

Nighty night.

Hey, Teddy.

Um, I know it's been a while,

but I, uh, just wanted

to check in with you

and see how you're doing.

I know this isn't

getting any easier.

It's starting to feel like

we're in the deep end

trying to find each other,

and we're just drowning.

And I just miss you.

I miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

And I wish you were right here

sitting right next to me.

Right next to me.

Right next to me.

Right next to me.

Hey, Teddy.

Um, I know it's been a while,

but I, uh, just wanted

to check in with you

and see how you're doing.

I know this isn't

getting any easier.

It's starting to feel like

we're in the deep end

trying to find each other,

and we're just drowning.

And I just miss you.

I miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

I wish you were right here

sitting right next to me.

But I know that's not

possible anymore.

Because that Teddy...

...my Teddy... is gone.

And that's the Teddy

that I miss.

Right next to me.

I miss you so much.

Right next to me.

Ah, Christ.

What the f*ck did you do?

Clever little prick, aren't you?

What the hell are you doing?

This has ruined enough lives.

Stop!

Now either we work together

to crack it open,

or I'll go old school

and unlock it my way.

No.

Wait. Stop.

Teddy Brimsval.

That ring any bells for you?

No?

Oh! Come on.

Don't play games with me.

I don't know

who you're talking about.

Y-Y-You stole his house.

You ruined his life, and you

took everything he ever had.

You-- You don't--

You don't remember him?

You don't--

You don't remember?

I don't know who this person is.

He's standing

right in front of you.

You know, I--

I-- I-- I use-- I used to have

s-so much.

A, uh-- A life I felt lucky

to be a part of.

You know,

a partner who believed in me.

S-Support.

Support like you

wouldn't believe.

But you took that away from me.

It's a--

It's almost funny how quick

everything happened.

Did-- Didn't even take a day.

You know, one-- one moment,

I'm all in my element,

living my best life.

You know,

and then just like that!

All my accounts are drained

right down to the last drop.

It happened faster than I ever

could have even reported it.

I-- I didn't-- I didn't even

have a chance to, uh--

D-D-Did that get you off?

Ruining me like that?

Every time I--

I got an alert on my phone,

it was bad news.

It's just

one after another after--

It's just-- Ding,

the mortgage didn't go through.

What?

Huh? That--

Ding.

The bank didn't receive

my car payment.

Ding! My accounts are overdrawn.

D-Ding. The credit cards

are maxed out. I--

Ding.

Ding.

f*cking ding. f*cking ding!

It was nonstop.

Then all my accounts

start shutting down.

And all my-- All my log-ins

have been changed.

I was like,

what the f*ck is going on?

It was almost like someone,

they manually went in

and changed everything.

I never even had a chance.

A few-- few-- few weeks go by

and the car gets repo'd and--

Yeah, I get a--

get a notice from the HOA.

They're-- They're working

with the bank

to foreclose on the house.

They put it up for auction.

The only way off the hook

for all the bills

is file for bankruptcy.

My wife, she--

My--

Right next to me.

My f*cking--

My f*cking wife--

My wife, she-- she--

s-s-she blames--

she blames-- she blames me

for everything. I--

I--

She-- She--

She catches the first flight

back home, man.

She's--

She-- She's gone.

She's gone.

And the best part?

Uh--

I-I-I start--

I start getting calls

from Social Security office,

the feds.

I'm being investigated

for fraud.

Uh--

You see...

someone...

I think we know who...

...went into all my accounts

and cut me out.

Made me look like an impostor.

Trying to get them back.

It was like I got erased.

You took my whole life away.

And now, now every--

every-- every day

is just-- is just--

it's so f-f-f*cking relentless.

It's like I gotta fight

what's up here, just--

just to convince myself

to keep going. I--

Yeah. You did that.

You-- You--

You stripped it all away.

My life.

It's gone.

And now it's your turn.

No, wait.

Wait.

I know all your secrets

are on there.

Every name,

your whole database.

Please...

don't do this.

I-I wish I could have said that

about three years ago.

That's enough of this bullshit.

Wait!

It wasn't personal.

Are you f*cking serious?

Now you ruined me.

I-I haven't slept in a real bed

in three years.

It... wasn't personal?

I'm sorry.

C-Come on, man.

Just-- Just-- Just stop.

I never met one of you.

One of us?

God, g-give me a break.

Having to see you

face to face.

I'm sorry.

So that just--

It's gonna make all--

all this go away?

Because you-- you're sorry?

You don't understand.

We have to come

to an understanding now?

Yeah, well,

un-f*cking-believable.

I'm not sorry for you.

Is that what you thought?

No. Uh-uh.

No. I'm sorry that now,

you get to feel

what it's like...

to be me.

What-- What are you--

What are you talking about?

You have no idea...

what someone like me

goes through every single day.

Someone like me

walks outside every day

and has to wonder

if they're a target.

Because of how I look.

Oh, sh*t.

We have to make sure

we don't end up a victim

every time we round the corner.

Just because

someone's waiting for us.

Someone like you.

Oh, h-hold on.

I might be

a complete piece of sh*t,

but I ain't a damn r*cist.

It doesn't matter.

Your people are.

They repress our culture...

make fun of the way we look,

and then use us as a scapegoat.

That has nothing to do with me.

How's that fair?

Fair?

Was it fair when you put us

in internment camps?

Okay, save it.

How about

when we got blamed

for the China virus?

Before that, it was SARS.

Okay. Save it. I--

Was it fair

when they k*lled my son?!

This sh*t's

never been fair, Teddy.

So that's what this is about?

That's what it's

always been about.

You have no f*cking idea.

Every day...

I see things that will make

your f*cking head spin.

I can't even

look at his picture.

I don't have it in me.

And for what?

They took him away from me

completely at random.

I have no one left.

I--

I'm sorry that happened to you.

But I-I didn't do that,

all right.

So-- So why me?

Someone has to pay.

sh*t.

Why me?

You were

part of a data breach.

At a company that hired me

as a cyber security analyst.

And who caused that data breach?

Huh? Hmm?

That's what you do...

isn't it?

That's right.

You get hired to help...

these big companies,

with their high-tech

security defense systems.

Then a few years later...

they got no idea

who tears it all down.

That's you.

None of those companies

care about us.

We're invisible to them.

And that's why you

bleed 'em dry, hmm?

Just leveling the playing field.

Oh, even if innocent people

get in the way, right?

Yeah. They go down too.

Nobody's innocent.

Hmm.

What about your son?

Don't you f*cking dare!

You know, it...

took me months after all this

to even begin

to understand

what I'd been through.

Wasn't until a bunch of stories

started to pop up

about data breaches...

that I...

began to put two

and two together.

Turns out there was a...

big jump

in cyber security cases

in my neck of the woods.

All the victims...

started to come forward.

And they all had

the same stories as me.

Mm-hmm.

They got erased.

Their entire identity...

...completely evaporated.

That's how I found you.

Huh.

I went from victim

to victim's house,

leaving air tags on practically

every car in the neighborhood.

But eventually,

I tracked the right car

to the right house.

I had to come pay you

a little visit.

I didn't even pick you.

You were just a random name.

All I had to do

was find your signature.

And then it was game over.

It was just

the luck of the draw.

Like how your people pick mine.

You were just

a faceless opportunity.

Faceless opportunity?

You look at me, m*therf*cker!

I'm right here. Hmm?

Yeah, in the real world,

you can't hide behind

your f*cking keyboard!

Now you f*ck with me,

I f*ck with you.

No.

No, don't!

Do you know

how long I've been wondering

what I did to deserve this?

Huh?

Don't!

And now you're telling me

I didn't even earn it?

I-I'm so-- I'm some random,

faceless opportunity!

f*ck this!

I just miss you.

I miss you so much.

Okay.

Come on.

m*therf*cker.

Come on.

Whoo! Whoo.

No. No. Come on!

You think you can destroy

years on my work?

You think you can ruin me?

That's the game we're playing?

You f*cking piece of sh*t.

Hey, Teddy.

Um, I know it's been a while,

but I, uh,

just wanted to

check in with you

and see how you're doing.

I miss you so much.

I wish you were right here

sitting right next to me.

But I know

that's not possible anymore.

Because that Teddy...

my Teddy... is gone.

And that's the Teddy

that I miss.

Not the one

that sleeps in his car...

tracking down the person

he blames for his life

going to sh*t

like some lunatic.

You've taken this way too far.

And that's not my Teddy.

I'm sorry.

Teddy, I-- I can't anymore.

I don't even know

why I'm calling you.

I just-- I-I wish

you'd just leave me alone.

I'm-- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I sw-switched them.

I... switched them.

What the f*ck

are you talking about?

All-- All your secrets.

What the f*ck

are you talking about?

Y-Your hard drive.

You destroyed my hard drive.

Where the f*ck is my hard drive?

With--

With your entire database.

What are you talking about?

They're-- They're

no longer faceless.

What the f*ck did you do?

What the f*ck did you do?

You stupid f*ck!

This was supposed to end

with me and you.

What the f*ck, man?

What the f*ck is this?

They-- They're all

coming for you.

You only have one...

option left.

Run!
